What you’ll learn

I can work as part of a group to design a sequence that must include group symmetrical and asymmetrical balances linked by movements in both canon and unison.

Key learning points

  • Move: quality sequences must consistently show control, extension, accurate timing and fluidity from start to finish.
  • Think: designing a group sequence to include all the required components shows decision making and resourcefulness.
  • Connect: listening to everyone's ideas and ensuring everyone is included and enjoying their learning requires respect.
  • Feel: motivating everyone to keep trying their best to develop the sequences further demonstrates responsibility.

Words to know

design
creating a plan for how something should be put together
sequence
combination of controlled movements and balances that have been linked together in a particular order
group
several people working together as a unit

Common mistakes

Pupils insist on including the movements and balances that they want to perform as part of the sequence, even if some members of the group cannot perform these correctly.

Groups need to agree on the movements and balances that they are including in the sequence and ensure everyone is able to perform them correctly and safely.

For parents, carers and teachers
  • Group your pupils carefully to ensure there is a mix of leaders and creative thinkers to support the sequence design.
